Pokemon Umbral Discussion 32: Ultimate Showdown of Ascended Classes

[Geminex]

Other missions will presumably have a comparable amount of assholes.

I'm not talking just about boss battles. If it were good in all boss battles, then it'd be pretty cool. But how many times in the last few battles would it actually have been useful? Let's look at it mission-by-mission.
First: Not at all.
Second: Maybe against Phantomere in his "can't touch this" modus. Other than that, not really, and even in that case, normal-damage attacks by a reduced-stats pokemon, really wouldn't do much to bring down a ruin general. I mean, they'd contribute, but using that slot the manner we were meant to, would probably have been more effective.
Third: Would've been good to relieve frustration against Gardenoir, but other than that? Sure, it could be hitting Wildfire. But unless it only has a pretty small sliver of health left, it'd be better to use a pokemon that can fight against the enemy mooks, to that we can expose and kill Wildfire more quickly. We can observe the rest of this mission, but I think the trend will continue.

In summary, it's not that Anticheator (that is its name) wouldn't be good, it's that, I think, it'd be better to invest as many resources as we can into exposing a boss, and then strike at the boss once it's been exposed.

Maybe if I were talking about you. But I can understand why you might've thought I was: I forgot the universe revolves around you.

Well, I'm the only one you talk back to, hence my assumption that you meant me. And if you're gonna dispute that I am not a hand that feeds you, fair enough, that's fine. Though if that's the case, I'm sure you wouldn't mind proving your independence by removing from your sidequest any elements that I originally suggested. That means that it can't involve the revalation that Pierce has a criminal past, and once worked for Faynoc, it can't involve Pierce going after Faynoc solo, with our team jumping in to help, it can't involve the rescue of Pierce's sister from Faynoc, it can't invovle Pierce finding Enmakki.
M'kay?

In regards to the Menarker thing, by no means do I think I'm always right (well, I do, but that's not the point). But I'm saying that, in that sort of situation (where his protest was basically unfounded), the only way he could be successful was if I agreed with him, and I pointed out that I'm very unlikely to agree with him in that matter.

I think it was stated the the abilities have to be thematic. For example, I can't give Tyranitar Water Absorb. I could instead, rather, give it Sand Veil.

Ffffair enough... I can always start protesting on a case-by-case basis. Though where was the post that said this? I can't find it.

We get one signature move for custom pokemon like Mollesk or Enmakki. More moves have to be gotten as custom moves from upgrades. And Dialga's Time Distortion became a Pokemon Co-Op.

How many custom pokemon can you have, then? Is there a limit for them? Cause getting a free custom move with every custom pokemon, how is that justified? I'm fine with custom moves, and as long as they cost you a sigtech slot, I'm even fine with them being quite powerful. But why give them out for free?

I mean, what has Impact done? Become leader by being a whiny little bitch? And the flipping the fuck out whenever someone dares to do something for themselves? Not to mention, being obviously evil.

Become leader by being best at it. Setting the stage for becoming really evil later.
And seriously, I could have sworn I threatened that you wouldn't see the stuff I do coming until it was way, way too late. Now you're complaining about the fact that I don't seem to be doing anything? That is the point.

And yes. I make proposals. By doing so, I hope I can create balance. That is also the point.

Though I can cut down on the evil-genius thing. What other persona to assume?
